Sean talks about old-fashioned sayings

Sean Coyle remembers the old-fashioned anecdotes his parents would say. Phil from Derry recalls what his mother used to say: ‘I'll get the Sally rod to you’.

Phil from Derry remembers what his mother used to say: ‘I'll get the Sally rod to you’. But wonders who exactly was Sally?

One caller remembers being out on a Sunday with his brothers and acting the Candyman and his father saying: ‘If I had yous boys back in Robert's St yous will know what's sticking to yous’.

Craig from Antrim would say: ‘acting the maggot’, comes from whenever you're putting a maggot on the hook when you're fishing, it wriggles and jumps about like an eejit.

Christy in Derry says my father used to say to me: ‘catch yourself on and have a titter of wit’.

Music from Dolly Parton, Terry Jacks, Prelude, Ricky Nelson, Bruce Springsteen and more.
